[JEN] Fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh, my God.
Fuck! Fuck! I fucking hate doing this.
I can't do this. I can't do this.
- Eggs are ready.
- Huh?
- Oh, Jesus.
- Shit.
You know, you didn't have to stay.
[SIGHS] You need to eat something.
[JEN] I can't. I
[SCOFFS] I honestly don't think
I'm ever gonna eat again.
Come the fuck on!

Judy's back! Hi!
- Hey. Morning.
- Hi!
- I missed you.
- I missed you, too.
Thanks for my bird.
Oh, I should go get it.
Huh? No, uh, no.
Uh, sweetheart, why don't you just
go have your breakfast right now?
Then get your shoes on. I don't
want you to be late for the bus.
I thought Judy wasn't gonna
be in our lives anymore.
You guys are friends again, or
- Uh
- Um
- I'd like to think that's the case.
- Not really, it's not like that.
- I'm hoping
- She came to get the rest of her things.
- [CHARLIE] Got it.
- So
Oh.
- Um, where are all of my things?
- I burned them.
Even my paintings?
Look, I was upset.
There was only, like, two.
- My friend Parker just got a car.
- Yeah.
And Jake is getting his mom's Lexus.
Oh, my God. No!
Charlie, I can't.
I've had my permit for, like, a week.
She won't even let me practice driving.
Okay, got you. Charlie,
please, not now. Please.
Okay? I've I've had a
really long night, and, um
you will practice.
Okay? I promise you, honey.
[UNDER BREATH] Now fucking drop it
[IN NORMAL VOICE] and go to school.
Thank you.
Why is the pool cover on?
The pool cover?
- Um, well, we thought that it was
- Something died.
What?
- A squirrel.
- Dog.
- Spider dog.
- It was a dog.
- A dog died in the pool?
- [JEN] Yeah.
- A big one.
- Yeah.
[HENRY] I lost my appetite.
- [JUDY] It was old.
- The dog would've wanted you to eat.
It was very old. I think
it might have killed itself.
Okay, that's enough.

Let's share your dream ♪
You and me ♪
So young and free ♪
Yes, these are
the best things in life ♪
Thank you for not burning everything.
I ran out of lighter fluid.
I, um
I guess we
should talk about what we
shouldn't talk about before
we don't talk again.
Yeah. Yeah, we should.
No one can ever know what
happened or where Steve
I know. I'm not stupid.
You know what, I'm hearing
you say, "I know,"
but I also know that you tend
to get a little confessy.
Well, I got confessy with you
because I couldn't let you believe
that you were responsible
for your husband's death.
You lied a long time, though.
I did, so you know I can.
- Oh, you can.
- Yeah.
And I promise you, the last
thing I want right now
is to put you in any more danger.
Oh, you know what?
It's too fucking late, Judy.
I am in a lot of fucking danger now.
[SIGHS]
I just don't understand how any
of this could have happened.
I told you.
Okay?
He got in my face.
[SOBS] And he tried to strangle me.
And it was very scary.
And I had to fight back
because my boys were inside.
Okay, but don't you think
the police would understand?
That was self-defense.
Yes, it was. It was,
but what am I gonna How's it
gonna look if I go to the cops?
Steve killed my husband.
And you're the one who fucking told me
that his family's so fucking
connected to the police.
They are. The chief is his godfather.
It's just a title, but
Not to mention my fucking house
would be a crime scene, and
I'd be opening my boys
up to an investigation.
That would be very hard to come
back from, developmentally.
They already lost their dad. [SNIFFLES]
- They can't lose me, too.
- No, you're right. You're right.
I just I was suggesting
going to the police
because I know how hard
it is to hide something.
- It takes a toll.
- [SIGHS]
[STAMMERING] I just feel so bad.
Okay, you know what? I don't need
your fucking pity right now.
What I need is for you to keep quiet.
Okay.
I'm so sorry that I
started this shitstorm.
[SNIFFLES]
And I just can't believe that he's gone.
- Except he's not.
- [SOBBING] But he is.
- Right? No.
- No, he's not.
You need to act like he's not.
Right. Right.
Right.
All right. Um
Well, thank you for
your help last night.
Feel free to call me if you ever need
Goodbye, Judy.
Bye.
- Bye.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
Don't get any closer to me.
I'm not going anywhere until you
tell me where the fuck Judy is.

- Terry. Hi.
- Hey.
Whoa, cute skirt.
Uh, they're pants.
Oh. Yeah. You should get
them in every color.
- Technically they're culottes, I guess.
- [LAUGHS] That's tricky.
Listen, I wanted to ask you,
I hope it doesn't sound weird,
but do you think that I
could crash in Abe's room
just for a week or two?
- I'm sorry?
- Don't be sorry, I have my own bedding,
but it's just that I miss him a lot,
and I thought that maybe
I could scratch that itch
by sleeping in his room.
Also, I do need a place to stay.
I thought Angela said you
were living with your family.
Oh, I was, but now I wasn't, so
It didn't work out the
way I thought it would.
Okay, well, a new resident
is moving into Abe's,
and we're at capacity, so
Oh, wow, that's great, full
capacity. I love that for us.
Right? [LAUGHS]
But you have a place to stay. I mean
You got people, right?
- Oh, totally.
- Yeah.
Totally, totally.
- Good.
- Totally.

[WHIRRING]
- [KAREN] Hey, neighbor.
- Oh.
Jesus Christ, Karen, snuck up
on me like a fucking Prius.
Sorry, didn't mean to startle you.
Wondering if you want to have
some orange wine tonight.
Jeff's in Boston on business.
Uh, no, I what the
fuck is orange wine?
I don't really know.
I saw it on a Reddit subthread
about menopause, so
Oh, cool. No, I, um
I really need to go to
bed early tonight, so
- You end up having a late night?
- Huh? No.
No, why?
Oh, I just thought I
heard a man back here.
Oh, well, yeah.
Must have been Charlie.
- No, it sounded like a full-grown man.
- [SCOFFS]
Well, you got me. [LAUGHS]
I was
I was fucking a full-grown
man last night.
- [KAREN] Oh.
- Mm-hmm.
Sounded more like an argument.
Well, you don't know how I fuck.
Right.
Okay, so listen, I really
need to get back to
Didn't you just get these
cameras installed?
[MURMURS] Jesus Christ.
I did, but, um, I changed my mind.
Oh, I'm not surprised.
I didn't wanna say anything,
but Jeff and I really prefer
the system we have.
- It's the same one the Mossad uses.
- Cool.
You should see the resolution
on our street cam.
Your what?
Our street cam. You could see
the whole block. It's like a movie.
[EXHALES] You know what?
Fuck it.
Why don't we have that
orange wine right now?
Uh, it's 11:30 a.m.
Be cool, Karen.
Okay, yeah.
- All right, great.
- Sounds cool.
- Why are you standing? Go get it.
- Okay, yeah.
- Go get it.
- All right.
[WHISPERING] Fuck me.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Where is it?
[CHATTERING]
- Oh! Hi, is this not 140?
- [GASPS] Oh.
Oh, no, it is. Thank you.
This is it? This is where
you're dumping me?
Yes, Mom.
This is where I've spent my life
savings to make you comfortable.
This is a wonderful room.
Best one in the place, if you ask me.
See? Thank you.
I'm Judy.
I was just, you know, making sure
everything's perfect for you.
Thank you, Judy. This is my
mom, Flo, and I'm Michelle.
- Hi.
- Are you the maid?
- No, I teach arts and crafts.
- [MICHELLE] Oh.
So is crawling around on the
floor an art or more of a craft,
- would you say?
- Both.
You know, I like to make sure
there's a tight tuck, 'cause
'cause sometimes people
really like that.
I'm good at it, so I hope that's okay.
Yeah, no worries.
No, none, no.
Great. Great.
Well, it was wonderful to meet you
Flo. Bye.
See you guys.
Keep her away from me.
[MICHELLE] Mom, there was
no way she didn't hear that.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
- [CLICKS]
- [RINGING STOPS]
[KAREN] The quality is amazing, right?
[JEN] No, it's great,
but is it even legal
to spy on people like that?
Oh, there's basically no
privacy laws anymore.
- Oh.
- It's one of the reasons
I'm glad I live in this era.
- Oh, right. That's
- Yeah.
- Not that it matters.
- [INHALES]
Nothing interesting ever
happens on our street.
Except for whatever happened
in this backyard last night.
- What?
- You know, with the
fucking.
Oh, yeah.
The fucking.
YALO. Or is it YOLO?
I don't know, Karen.
Okay. Look, it even has night vision.
[JEN] Oh.
- That's last night.
- Wow, that's that's really clear.
[KAREN] Mm-hmm.
Do you like the orange wine?
Yeah, yeah, it really coats the mouth.
- [WATER RIPPLING]
- Um
How do you erase this?
Do you erase this every day,
or how do you erase it?
Uh, I don't. I keep it all on the cloud.
[RUSTLING]
[KAREN] What is that noise?
[PANTING]
[LOUD CLICK]
- [WHIRRING]
- Wait, what are you doing?
What the fuck? What are you doing?
- There's a sound coming from your drain.
- Huh?
You don't want anything stuck in there.
Could be a nightmare.
- Yeah. Yep. [MUTTERS]
- Hmm?
Here's the culprit.
Yeah, that's just a toy. It's just a
Shouldn't be in there.
Kinky.
Oh.
[RINGS]
[STEVE] Hey-o, you've reached TKG Arts,
Laguna's leading art gallery for
local and international artists,
showing by appointment only.
- You know what to do.
- [BEEPS]
- [MICHELLE] Hey, Judy.
- Oh, hey.
Is there a lost and found here?
I found this cigar box
someone left in the room.
You know, hidden in the box spring?
Oh, weird, someone left that there.
Yeah, it's super weird.
And I definitely didn't look inside
to see that there was a bunch
of weed and some car keys.
Thank you.
Oh, okay.
Your hair smells so good.
Thanks?
You're welcome. [SNIFFLES]
[JEN] Okay, now you just, please,
just be careful. Go slow.
- Mom, it's fine.
- Get your eyes on the road, please.
I know. I know.
Yeah. How how do
you know how to drive?
Dad taught me.
Oh. He did, huh?
Or he was teaching me,
right before he died.
Was he?
It was actually really
cool, driving with him.
I'm glad that you got to
spend that time together.
Why didn't you tell me?
He said not to. I guess he
didn't want to piss you off.
- [HORN HONKS]
- [JEN] Watch out!
- [SIGHS]
- Oh, my God. Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm Yeah.
- Oh, my God!
Watch where you're going, you asshole!
It's a fucking intersection,
- motherfucker!
- He can't He drove away!
- Could've killed someone, fucking cunt!
- Calm down.
He can't fucking hear you.
Fucking don't fucking cuss at me!
[SEAGULLS CRYING]
- [KEYS JANGLE]
- [ENGINE TURNS OVER]
[SIGHS]
Thank you, Abe.
[JEN] So I was looking online,
and we can actually petition to get
a stop sign at that intersection.
- Nothing happened.
- Hm?
You you're overreacting.
Okay, well, I'm not.
And you know what?
Don't ever tell a woman that
she is overreacting, okay?
Because most of the time,
women are underreacting.
This is my reaction, which means
that I am reacting perfectly.
Is Judy coming back?
- They broke up again.
- Char.
[SIGHS]
You break up a lot.
[CHARLIE] Can we go eat
in front of the TV?
Fine.

- Mom.
Boop, honey. Are you okay?
Did you have a bad dream?
- Yeah.
- Oh. [EXHALES]
You want to tell me?
Well
[STAMMERING] I was alone in a room.
And and someone
someone was taking you away.
Oh. Do you
Do you know who it was?
I'm not sure, I couldn't tell.
Oh. Yeah, that
That is a bad dream, huh?
Yeah.
Do you know what?
You know it was just a dream
because I'm right here.
[SNIFFLES] You are not alone.
You'll always have me.
Okay?
You'll always have your mama.
[KISSES]
- Close your eyes.
- [SIGHS]
[CRYING]
[CONTINUES CRYING]
[EXHALES]
[SIGHS]
[RINGS]
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
I didn't think you'd answer.
I didn't think you'd call.
You left your, uh bracelet here.
Oh. Sorry. I, uh
You can just throw it out, or
burn it or whatever.
Oh.
Thought maybe you left
it here on purpose.
Like, as an excuse to see me again.
- Did it work?
- [MECHANICAL WHIRRING]
[INHALES]
[MECHANICAL BEEPING]
What's that sound?
- [WHIRRING CONTINUING]
- [JEN] Where are you?
[JUDY] Um, I'm, uh
parked outside of my
old dentist's office.
- Dr. Nguyen?
- Yes.
You go to him too?
- [THUDS]
- Shit, I was gonna roll up the window,
- but I fell.
- [LAUGHING ON TV]
I guess it took Mrs. Garrett's
crisis to bring us together.
Yeah. How much longer are we
gonna have to keep up this act?
[BLAIR] We'll just have to keep this up
until she's over her little problem.
Then everything'll be back to normal.
[NANCY] Yeah. We don't want to break
Thank you for having me over.
Well, I'm not gonna have
you sleeping in a car.
[SCOFFS] I slept in a car for,
like, a year with my mom.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Might have been a year and a half.
Wasn't that bad. It was a hatchback.
Oh, God, Mrs. Garrett.
- [SIGHS]
- Oh.
Don't you wish that
you had a Mrs. Garrett
just tell you that everything's
gonna be all right?
Yes.
Everything is gonna be all right.
That's not as good.
- No?
- No.
- [LAUGHS]
- Sorry.
[JUDY SIGHS]
[CRYING] I don't know what to do, Judy.
This this feels impossible.
Oh, no. I know.
I know you know.
I'm right here.
[JEN SNIFFLES]
Okay.
[SNIFFLES] I didn't
realize I had it so good
when I was just, like, regular unhappy.
Yeah.
God, I would kill for some
down-the-middle depression right now.
Just some real good,
- deep dissatisfaction.
- Yeah.
Shit. I'm sorry.
It's like I forget for a second,
and then I just remember about Steve.
Yeah.
[SOBBING] I know we
weren't even together,
but suddenly, I can't imagine
my life without him.
I'm I'm I'm sorry, Judy.
- I'm so
- [SNIFFLES]
- I'm so, so sorry.
- No, no, no. Don't be sorry.
He was attacking you,
and it was not your fault.
Yeah.
I'm not going anywhere until you
tell me where the fuck Judy is.
Please just leave.
I don't know why the fuck
you're protecting her.
She just feels sorry for you.
Poor little widow, all alone,
cheating husband. Boy,
he was miserable, wasn't he?
Fuck this! I'm out of here.
- [GRUNTING]
- [STEVE WINCES]
[EXHALES]
- Judy.
- Yeah?
Can
Can I can I give you a hug?
[CRYING]
- [JEN] No, no, no, really.
- [JUDY] Really?
Yeah. No, it's fine.
I mean, you can stay until you
find somewhere permanent.
Okay, and to be clear,
you burned all of my stuff?
Well, not your blanket.
And some of your crystals
wouldn't take the hint,
but
Oh, also
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Hey.
Parker's gonna be driving me to school.
Oh, is that a telling, not an asking?
Pretty much.
Guess you guys can't stay
away from each other, huh?
Hey.
[JEN] Oh, excuse me. Wait a minute.
Do I know this Parker, and
does he have a license?
Uh, yeah, she does.
Wear a seat belt, please!
- Do you think that they're
- No.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
[JEN] Coming.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Good morning.
